I think that you could push forward with your college degree. I would hire a tutor or online course to help with the grammar. The most important thing is to be around positive constructive people. I would join toastmasters which teaches speaking skills in a social safe setting. There are a lot of people willing to help you succeed. Stay positive. Another way to learn is to teach others who are less skilled than yourself. You will surprise yourself with what you know. Good look!!

I don't know, but maybe I can help a little,
I'm 18 years old and I just graduated from High school, I'm from another country and we just migrated to the U.S. I have difficulties in my studies now, especially in English grammar. I plan on going back to High school here, but it's a waste of time for me. I want to go to college but I'm afraid that I'm not preprared, and I think the other students in college will laugh at me because they never learned grammar how I did. I'm so tired of being nervous, but I'm still learning and I never give up. The poing is, do I need to go back to High School, or will I proceed to college?
Use compact words, you're sentences, and future answers will be shorter. Good luck.

The best thing is to go to a community college and take classes there in which you are having the most problems in; in this case English. Apply with the intention of going on to a four college. This does not mean that you have to complete your AA here at the community college; just that it will help you in your future studies.
good luck.

I don't know that you need to go back to high school. Maybe you could get tutoring to help you become better with the English language. You might try taking English as a second language courses to help you become more comfortable speaking and writing in English.

I think it would be a waste of your time to go back to high school. See if you can take an English as a second language class at your local college.

Sign up for a 2 year college. They will help you find the right English courses to take and help you toward a degree.

You should try to go to college. Most state universities will help you through special programs that are made for non-English speakers. Don't worry about people laughing at you. Most Americans are good people that want to help (no matter what the media says). Good luck!

Read well-written books. That's honestly all you have to do.
Ernest Hemingway is one of the clearest, simplest but also most eloquent writers you'll find in the English language. Winston Churchill is another. He loved the English language and was a prolific writer. Also, read the New York Times.
Good writers are people who read what other good writers write.

Try to imagine this reality; Anything and everything you could ever possibly want to learn is in a library. Any library. If they don't have the information you want, they will order it for you. If you're disabled you can have them mail it to you. I promise there an answer to any and all questions at you library.

Community college can help you prepare and you may earn transferrable credits as well. And it's relatively inexpensive.
